Royale World Buffet

You can find us at the PGR Complex in Wakad, specifically Shop No 1 on the ground floor. It’s a pretty big space, which we need for the buffet. Royale World Buffet isn't a fancy place with white tablecloths. It’s more of a spot where families come on the weekend. We have a lot of tables to look after. Every morning we start early, getting the kitchen ready and making sure the floors are mopped. There is a lot of prep work involved when you serve so many different things. We go through a lot of plates and cutlery every single day. The sink is almost never empty. Wakad is growing fast, so we see a lot of new faces along with our regulars. Sometimes the air conditioning struggles when the room is full, but we do our best to keep it comfortable. We don’t really have a big corporate team behind us. It’s just a bunch of us trying to keep the food warm and the trays full. It gets pretty chaotic during dinner time. You’ll hear the clinking of plates and people talking over each other. That’s just the way it goes here. We try to keep things simple. We don't make big promises, we just put the food out and let people eat. It’s a lot of physical work, standing on our feet all day, but it’s a living. We close up late and then we have to do it all over again the next day.
